Fans could be in store for some top-tier slugging on Tuesday. Jupiter hasn't had any problems when it comes to power this season, having averaged 1.3 home runs per game. However, it's not like Dwyer struggles in that department as they've been averaging an even more impressive 0.7 home runs. With so much power on both teams, it'll be down to the pitchers to keep the mound locked down.
Jupiter got the 'W' in their previous meeting back in April of 2025 against Dwyer by a conclusive 14-4 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Warriors since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
